One of TV3's biggest and most popular stars, newsreader Hilary Barry, has quit the network.
Her departure is the second high-profile casualty at TV3 in the past year after John Campbell left in May when his show Campbell Live was dumped.
In what might be considered as adding salt to the wound, the head of MediaWorks has made an embarrassing gaffe in an email to staff - in which he wrongly spelled Hilary Barry's name.
Chief executive Mark Weldon, currently overseas, sent an internal email today, following Barry's shock resignation thisweek.
In the subject line was simply: "Hillary Barry'' - showcasing an extra L in her first name.
Former employee David Farrier posted the offending email on Instagram and Twitter.
He wrote: "Mark Weldon, CEO of MediaWorks, sent out an email to staff about Hilary Barry.
